Thoracic aortic aneurysm/dissection (TAAD) is a rare cardiovascular disease characterized by acute onset, rapid progression and high morbidity and mortality. One of the crucial factors leading to TAAD is the inflammatory response, which is regulated by many immune cell subgroups, including B cells. Compared with normal aortic tissue, the number of B cells in the aortic tissue of TAAD patients is significantly higher. Activated B cells participate in the vascular immune inflammatory response by producing antibodies and inflammatory factors and activating the complement system. These effects can lead to collagen degradation and aortic wall remodeling, both of which are the main pathologic characteristics of TAAD. Therefore, B cells play a key role in the occurrence and development of TAAD. B cells can be divided into B1 cells, B2 cells and regulatory B cells, which have different mechanisms of action in TAAD. This article will review the role of B cells in TAAD from the perspective of three different subtypes of B cells.
